    Hey there,
    I was curious about getting this card for my new system;

    - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-...gpu-860mhz-1024-cores-dual-link-dvi-i-hdmi-2x.

    Is the single fan enough to keep the card at a safe temperature? I'm not too fussed on the noise output, but I can't go over that amount for a GPU, as my budget has been stretched enough as it is.

    I'll have an intake and exhaust case fan aswell, which would help the airflow around the GPU I'd think.

    It will be fine, might be a bit louder and temps a touch higher but fine all the same

    They wouldn't be selling it if it wasn't safe, so long as your case has plenty of airflow
